destroy that respect and awe which all laws should

Mr.. William P. Cole, of this place, proprietor
of the Towsontown and Lutherville stage line,
made narrow escape from serious injury on Mon
day last. He had just returned from one of his
trips and in turning his team in front of the stable
the horses being quite spirited, they lugged SO
hard on the reins that Mr.. Coles feet slipped from
the toe-raiI and he was pulled down in front of
tho rlooir .he ho-ses IN thn time hncnnc;
considerably excited and starting to run. Mr..
Coles brother was at the stable and he called to
him to catch the horses, but seeing the danger his
brother was in under the stage, he ran towards
him and just had time to pull him away to pre-
vent the wheels passing over him. One of the
wheels caught him on the side of the head and
scraped him badly, carrying away the outside
skin and hair. Had his brother been second
later the wheel must have passed over his head,
and the stage being heavy one, he would proba-
bly, have had the life crushed out of him. The
team ran a short distance and was caught without
doing further damage.

Discussing Sanitation-Whati Is Needed
in the Belt and Elsewhere.-The Baltimore
County Board of Health held a meeting in Balti-
more last Saturday. Mr.. John E. Crout presided,
with DR.. Hill, secretary. Among those present
were Drs. Piper and Massenburg, of Towsontown;
DR.. J. B. Hart, of Waverly; DR.. Chas. Il. Mitch
ell, of Hampden, Mr.. w. f. Mitchell, counsel to
the Board of County Commissioners, and others.
DR.. Massenburg said there no sewers in the
Belt and not sufficient drainage. The subject of
the metes and bounds of the different sanitary Of
fcers was discussed and DIR. Hill said if a man is
creating nuisance it is easy to stop it, but where
the few is on another mans land it is not so easy.
1t is the opinion that the man on whose land the
nuisance stands is obliged to have it drained; If
any damage is done him he has his recourse.
Mr.. Crout said it was the intention to fight the
sinLins OF p.ivy wells in Baltimore county in the
courts, if necessary. DR.. Massenburg showed the
evil results of cemented vaults. DR.. Piper in
dorsed his views, advising boiling mixture Of
asphalt and tar to coat the bricks. Dr. Hart spoke
in favor of wooden hogsheads, with lids. Mr..
now being built in Baltimore county to use wooden
structures specially made for the purpose.
Mr.. Mitchell suggested that special laws should
be made for Baltimore county. The present law
does not give the local Board sufficient power. He
thought the Board should have absolute control
all over the county, and appoint when necessary,
an inspector for any neighborhood requiring it..
DR.. Piper said he did not think DIR. Hill would
have any trouble in enforcing the sanitary laws in
Baltimore county. There was general discussion
of the condition of certain streets and alleys, after
which the conference adjourned

this section of our beautiful county. The land lies
high and just rolling enough to give to the coun-
try picturesque and delightful appearance. As
q summer resort Towsontown has no superior in
the State Everything to make an attractive and

rapidity. Towsontown is not as far from Balti-
more as Germantown is from Philadelphia. Now,

tiful country villas, some of them costing as high

A Vain Boast.-The Cambridge dorchester

Cambridge at this season is the most beautiful
town in Maryland. The breezes are laden with
the fragrance of numberless flower yards the trees
are clothed in mantles of green, and the MARBLE

zephyr"
The most beautiful town, indeed! Why man,
you don't know what q really pretty place looks
like. If you want to see what competent judges
call pretty town just step this way If you please
Towsontown is by all odds the prettiest town in
Maryland. It's simply beautiful; in fact it's
well, it's "the chief among ten thousand and the
one altogether lovely" If these vain boasts con-
tinue pretty soon we'll have that dreadful little
hamlet called Belair putting in claim in the
beauty show. But we pray that this will not hap
